After watching Collazo against Vasquez, i realized something...

Most people here think they could hear Paulie Malignnagi.

Collazo a crafty southpaw fun style!

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

Collazo said he used to use his left cross more often before the surgery. He had a Wilder type injury. But I was the very few on this forum giving Collazo props, now people are giving him credit...

The Khan bout was a total of 80 clinches. Frustrated Collazo. That same week I remember, I think it was Fight Hype, that Larry Merchant said Prize Fighting with excessive holding should be deducted points. Of course, Khan DID get a point taken away from that bout on clinching alone... Khan wouldn't be able to do such a show on Alvarez even though his effective combos and missed combos were just bouncing off Nelo.

You guys gotta stop acknowledging those who DKSAB, just ignore them. Everyone I know of here who knows boxing knew collazo is no push over.

I was giving Luis Collazo props before you even knew what Boxing Scene was, pal. (Second paragraph, end of third line.)

Interesting read, did your opinion change any after he (Hatton) beat the tar out of Paulie?

I am not sure why it took you to last night to realize how hard this sport is, but yes, it is a very very difficult sport to make a big impact in...and any fan who claims to have the skills to beat a boxer they are watching on TV - they are either delusional or have horrible luck that they are posting on the internet and not training for fights. For what it's worth, Collazo has always been massively under rated by many fans and pundits. Very solid contender, just never had his signature moment other than maybe his KO of Ortiz or his fight with El Mago.

Well when you read day in day out on Boxingscene how every fighter apart from Mayweather and maybe just maybe a handful others are bums and should retire you gotta understand a man can lose sense of reality every now and then.

OP makes a great point in this thread. It's always a shock to the system once the NSB ******ness goes out of one's brain every now and then and you realise just how hard it is to get to the level these guys are at to be talked about by randomners across the world like us on internet forums.

It's refreshing to see on here a reminder that not every fighter apart from the top 10 p4p guys are bums and should retire. Makes a nice change.

I was a tad disrespectful back then, but had to be to get my point across.

Makes me laugh reading back how people acted like I was ******ed for backing Carl Froch as a top fighter before he won a titile.

If Collazo didn't get shafted against Hatton, the boxing landscape would have looked pretty different today. Hatton contributed tremendously to the Pac and Mayweather PPV hype machines. But instead the Hatton-Collazo fight was swept under the rung, and people kept pretending Hatton was an amazing fighter.

He was indeed shafted. Very underrated guy. Seems like a humble guy not sure why he has gotten so much hate in the past. he been must see tv for me since he took out Rivera for the belt.
